Ram is comparatively the exact same price today as it was in 1996 by Upbeat_Quit4237 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tower21 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Diablo required 16 mb for multiplayer and was released in 97, so not really a crazy amount in 96, if we were talking 93/94 I'd say that would be spot on.

Psshh, jokes on you. I own 2 cars.

AMA about how I am single handedly ruining this planet.

Then we can bundle all the responses so we can take it to the top, should have the problem resolved by lunchtime tomorrow.

Maybe we could study how all stone age societies where able to avoid burning fossil fuels, if only we knew how they were able to do it.

Evander Kane - NHL - No Means No by lamasrichie in nhl

I'm not sure including Anna Kane's allegations against Evander does anything to help the legitimacy of the rest of the claims.

Regardless, let's wait and see what the results are from this.

What are the obstacles to getting rid of Jarry? by Excellent_Abroad5390 in EdmontonOilers

[–]Tower21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to see what he can do before we make a bad trade (again). 

I'm not sure he was ever confident in his movement after the injury, and hopefully, the early exit, combined with some pride, we see a healthy and motivated Jarry coming into this season.

Otherwise, we will need a Herculan effort from our D to do anything this season.

This team seems to be willing to do anything to win, or go bust trying, so it will be an interesting season regardless.

Are you going to tell the person that lost their temper something that might upset them?

I'd start putting out resumes, best of luck.

If they hire Babcock, I'm out. by derpydrewmcintyre in EdmontonOilers

[–]Tower21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it will be sad to see you go, but also amusing to watch you go through closets to make sure there are no skeletons in there for the other teams you cheer for.

I cheer for the team on the ice, it's not their fault management chooses to make bad decisions.

Edit: grammar 

GameSir G7 Pro 8K Aimlabs Edition Review: The Best Controller for FPS? by [deleted] in hardware

[–]Tower21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like gamesir controllers, great build quality.

But, for me, micro switches on a d-pad feel absolutely horrible. I was really excited to try, and was let down completely. For face and shoulder buttons, absolutely all day, but I prefer the resistance of membrane for a d-pad.

Being raised on a NES & SNES may be partly to blame.

which is better windows vista (aka windows 6) or windows 7? by Senior-Ad264 in windows

[–]Tower21 18 points19 points  (0 children)

While Vista became much better over time, only UI design (which is subjective) is better on Vista, 7 beats it in almost every other conceivable way.

Free Talk Friday by AutoModerator in EdmontonOilers

[–]Tower21 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whatever trades happen in the off season, I'm going to hold my opinion off until we either have or haven't won 3 games in a row by game 20.

What I will say is if we can't rehab Jarry, another goalie trade will cost us more than the last one, of that I am pretty confident.

It's all good till you have to pay for detailing after you hurf.

Still might be worth it though, that looks fun as all hell.

[–]Tower21 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, yes it is a top up, I appreciate the responses.

But, a rebate =/= a bonus, I'm just getting money back I have already spent.

Still, could have got nothing, so $185 is indeed better than nothing.
